Capitol Riot Pinball Game Debuts At CPAC [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:

A virtual pinball game, created by entrepreneur Jonathan Linowes, features photos from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, former President Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally earlier in the day, along with graphics of the U.S. Capitol and media networks MSNBC, Fox News and CNN.

The game can be played on over five modes, including “Stop the Steal,” “Fake News,” “Peaceful Protest,” “Babbitt Murder,” “Have Faith” and “Political Prisoners. As you play each mode, videos from the insurrection play on a screen above.

Linowes told The Hill he hopes the game can “reach an audience” of those who are not ordinarily political. He claimed he also posted the free software for the game on websites for enthusiasts, but was later banned because platforms said they did not “want any terrorists” on their website.
